How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unopened packages in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to consume the remaining jerky within a few days. If you do not plan to finish it quickly, consider storing the opened package in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator to preserve its texture and flavor.
